Scratching the horses muzzle as if she were shaking its hand, Rae’vyn then turned to its master, taking his shake. She had seen him before, somewhere, something that she just couldn’t place. Shaking her mind free of the thought she smiled broadly. Jam had wandered a fair distance from the road, still munching on the grass.
“Rae’vyn Kaldres, the pleasure is mine.” It had become all to easy to change her name back to that of her heritage instead of her marriage. Shaking her head a little she flicked her eyes along the road and back the way he had come before settling her eyes back on the man before her.
The softest and most knowing of smiles came across her face as she placed her hand upon Epic’s hand, feeling the horse pull the reigns beneath.
“That’s why I’m here, just to…get away.” Eyes flicked back to the city of Mystique. Her small one, while adorable, was noisy, and not afraid of showing it. With a small smile she shivered.
“Well, since you aren’t heading to anywhere, how would you like to join me, I was just about to open the bottle of mild spiced wine from my picnic.” Jam had wandered back and head butted Rae’vyn in the back, causing the tall woman to stumble. Holding onto the horse’s saddle, she pushed the tan animal away from the road. “Its just up the hill, under the tree.” She gestured from the way she had come, smiling to Epic.
